Vowing to replace Ohio’s reputation as a Rust Belt state with being the “undisputed home of advanced energy,” Gov. Ted Strickland used his fourth State of the State speech today to promote an enhanced emphasis on “green-energy” jobs.
Vowing to replace Ohio’s reputation as a Rust Belt state with being the “undisputed home of advanced energy,” Gov. Ted Strickland used his fourth State of the State speech today to promote an enhanced emphasis on “green-energy” jobs.
“I believe in Ohio because you can’t write the history of the world without us,” Strickland said, highlighting many of the important inventions in the Buckeye State over time. “I believe in Ohio because Ohio will power the future.”
In fact, the governor, who officially kicked off his re-election campaign for a second term last week at a time the state’s economy continues to be battered by the recession, peppered his speech with the phrase I believe in Ohio.Read Full Article

One of the few American industries actually growing right now is the manufacturing of wind, solar and other renewable-energy equipment. Observers expect solar cell production in Ohio to double or triple in the next few years, thanks in part to a state requirement for a portion of electricity to come from alternative sources.

Hocking College—a two-year technical college in Nelsonville, Ohio—has trained its students for jobs in Ohio’s manufacturing sector since 1968. As these jobs began leaving the state, Hocking College saw the potential for growth in alternative energy jobs. The school launched the Energy Institute in 2002, with just three students to offer training in advanced energy and fuel cells. Enrollment has since increased to 125 students and the curriculum has also expanded to include hybrid and plug-in vehicle courses, as well as courses about wind and solar power.

The school’s newly completed building, located in Hocking County, reflects Hocking College’s commitment to participating in the new green economy. The 12,200 square-foot building is on track to become the first higher education building in Ohio to receive LEED Platinum certification.Read Full Article

Finding jobs for former auto workers will remain a challenge in Ohio and Michigan for years to come, and both states are looking at environmentally friendly industries as possible sources for jobs.
Finding jobs for former auto workers will remain a challenge in Ohio and Michigan for years to come, and both states are looking at environmentally friendly industries as possible sources for jobs.
There is one problem with that. So is almost every other state in the country and most other nations across the world. That’s a lot of competition for companies that aren’t expected to create a lot of jobs.Read Full Article

Next time you hear politicians promising the restrictive environmental laws they’re passing will put Americans back to work in green jobs, ask the workers who make light bulbs how it’s working out for them.
Next time you hear politicians promising the restrictive environmental laws they’re passing will put Americans back to work in green jobs, ask the workers who make light bulbs how it’s working out for them.
General Electric is shuttering light bulb factories in Virginia, Kentucky and Ohio, putting 400 workers off the job. Why? Because the factories make the old-style incandescent bulbs, which are being outlawed by congressional decree.
The old bulbs will be replaced by the environmentally correct compact fluorescents bulbs. But they won’t be made in GE’s American factories.Read Full Article

The benefits of many major clean energy initiatives—such as wind and solar energy and extensive biofuel use—could be far off, but that didn’t discourage the optimism of supporters.
“We are the agricultural center of northeastern Ohio,” said Bob Cohen, president of Braintree. He attended the event sponsored by NorTech, a regional group formed in 1999 to champion northeastern Ohio as a green energy center.Read Full Article

XUNLIGHT CORPORATION, a small manufacturer of solar panels, sits on a quiet street in Toledo. It has a professor as its president, about 100 employees on its payroll—and a lot of bigwig visitors. In October 2008 Sarah Palin, then the Republican vice-presidential candidate, used Xunlight as the setting for a speech on energy policy. Other guests have included Ohio’s governor, two senators and a congresswoman. And no wonder: the firm provided evidence to support a seductive hope, that the green economy can help to revive the suffering rustbelt.

And no wonder: the firm provided evidence to support a seductive hope, that the green economy can help to revive the suffering rustbelt.
As the battle over a cap-and-trade bill continues in Congress, the industrial Midwest finds itself playing an awkward role. The climate bill offers two big opportunities, to reduce global warming and boost the green economy in the process. And nowhere are green jobs more loudly promoted than in the rustbelt. On August 5th Barack Obama and Joe Biden, his vice-president, travelled to Indiana and Michigan, two ailing swing states, to announce new grants to develop electric cars. But hopes for those new green jobs are matched by fears that traditional ones will be lost. With the Senate due to debate a cap-and-trade bill next month, the rustbelt and its politicians are at the heart of the battle.Read Full Article
